If at first you don’t succeed, have some pie 🥧 🎄and Christmas cookies 🍪 .
(With apologies to Charles Mackesy who wrote The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse)

I love to cook, but it is baking that captures my fears and hopes. There’s nothing like waking up very early in the morning to whip out the butter, eggs and flour and pray that the spirits of water and fire will go your way and make batters and dough rise in the oven.

Wishing you all peaceful and happy holidays for the next few weeks. May 2026 be a time for hope and renewed commitment to making this world a better place for our neighbors and friends. 🩷🌲⭐️

And much gratitude to all our hardworking and lovely staff at Purple Yam MNL (PY Pastry Kitchen). Below are their beautiful and delicious creations for our supporters and customers.
